Short summary
The aerosol adjoint module of the atmospheric chemical modeling system GRAPES–CUACE was developed, tested for its correctness, and used in a receptor–source sensitivity test. The results showed that controlling critical emission sources during critical time intervals on the basis of adjoint sensitivity analysis is much more efficient than controlling administrative specified regions during an experiential time period.
